formerly a psycholinguist studying pronouns at Vanderbilt, now working on the Siri team at Apple | they/she 🏳️‍🌈 💜🤍🖤
I’m not complaining about no one protesting pride (or not getting heatstroke!), but it does feel pretty weird to have more security here than in the city where a senator was at a rally with the Proud Boys and someone blew up a van outside the AT&T building on Christmas.

Please come find me if you want to talk pronoun research, Siri, getting started doing freelance/contract work, recent experiences on the industry job market, or Philly food recs :)

ok updates/hot takes:

I kinda like the formula input in Numbers but like, nothing else

I can get Excel/Word and it’s PowerPoint that’s a no, but I can live with Keynote more than Numbers

in actuality I haven’t had any awkwardness coming into Apple as a windows/android user. the mild awkwardness has actually been from men who expect me to know shit about Teslas.

I am sticking to my backpack with fun little pins though, because I don't have back/shoulder pain yet and I need to try to keep it that way
